Two men face charges for public drunkenness after their vehicle crashed into a McSherrystown home Thursday, police said.

The driver was operating a black Volkswagen when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a home in the 100 block of North Second Street, near Maple Street, said Michael Woods, McSherrystown police chief. Only two men were in the vehicle and neither were identified by police.

The driver, who was operating the vehicle at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at several intersections, will also be charged for various traffic violations, Woods said.

One man fled the scene but was later apprehended by police.

Both were transported to Hanover Hospital following the incident. By 4:30 p.m., one had been discharged.
